I’m using this post to share materials from the talk “Fast and Easy Maps using SAS Graph” I presented to the members of the Genesee Valley SAS Users Group at their Spring 2009 meeting. This material is also cross-posted in the Presentations section at the Genesee Valley SAS Users Group web site (www.gvsug.org).

I initially put this Processing sketch together as a neat way of exploring county level indicators for New York State. I’m still tweaking the layout and streamlining the code a bit but I soon hope to post an interactive version for people play around with.

In fond memory of our good friend and colleague, I’m posting¬†the faked pulp mystery book cover I created several years ago. I initially did this as a quick way to tease the venerable professor about his recently unveiled, and¬†somewhat melodramatic, official department portrait (included after the jump).
I had this vision of him as a sort of Cinema Noir public health detective (a la Sydney Greenstreet). Dr Berg was so tickled by the whole thing I ended up giving him a framed copy and several duplicates for family and friends.

The following images are a series of web site mock-ups I did for O’Callaghan’s Pub (a Rochester-area bar opened by some friends of mine) built around the idea of a bar room chalkboard. While I don’t normally get involved in commercial projects, the design was so whimsical I wanted to take a shot at implementing it.

This is a poster I created to photographically summarize the activities of the University of Rochester’s Division of Public Health Practice for 2002. While I was quite pleased with the final product, the loss of the original source files for this project was a tragic first lesson in proper backup planning.

I created this web site as part of a free EC (Emergency Contraception) prescription service being tested by the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Reproductive Health Program in New York’s Monroe county. The site was primarily intended to be a web-based form submission, validation, and notification system for EC prescription requests.
